In order to clarify the influences of drip irrigation under different mulch materials on crop yield, field experiments were carried out in North China Plain for two seasons 2020 and 2021. The changes microenvironment, photosynthetic capacity, leaf biological factors, maize growth indexes analyzed with transparent film (W), black (B), straw mulching (S), a nonmulching as control (CK). results sh...

A model has been used to simulate potassium (K) uptake by wheat in a pot culture experiment. Three soils from India, namely Alfisol, Inceptisol and Vertisol, were differentially K exhausted by Sudan grass (Surghum vulgare var. Sudanensis) for a period of 280 days and were used to simulate potassium uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum) and also to predict the amounts of K released or fixed during...

shoot tips from actively growing, greenhouse maintained plants of kalanchoe blossfeldiana were cultured in vitro for shoot proliferation and root initiation on murashige and skoog (ms) basal medium supplemented with naa and ba, both in concentrations of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00 mg l-1. results showed that the maximum plantlets height (7.012 cm), node number (4.516), root number (8.860) and roo...

The 3-D structure of the solar wind is strongly dependent upon the Sun’s activity cycle. At low solar activity a bimodal structure is dominant, with a fast and uniform flow at the high latitudes, and slow and variable flows at low latitudes. Around solar maximum, in sharp contrast, variable flows are observed at all latitudes. This last kind of pattern, however, is a relatively short-lived feat...

'Ihree upward looking acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) were deployed beneath meteorological buoys in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Mexico. during winter 1988-1989. Hourly averaged wind speed data from the buoys and from ship when in the vicinity were compared with surface acoustic backscatter intensity recorded at the ADCPs. The backscatter was found to be a significant predictor of wind sp...

The purpose of this study is to improve the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades, using the Ball-Spine inverse design method. The inverse design goal is to calculate a geometry corresponds to a given pressure distribution on its boundaries. By calculating the difference between the current and target pressure distributions, geometric boundaries are modified so that the pressure di...

High productivity (maxima B3 g C m 2 day ) of the Eastern Boundary Currents (EBCs), i.e. the California, PeruHumboldt, Canary and Benguela Currents, is driven by a combination of local forcing and large-scale circulation. The characteristics of the deep water brought to the surface by upwelling favorable winds depend on the large-scale circulation patterns. Here we use a new hydrographic and nu...

abstract a model based on fuzzy logic has been developed to simulate the distribution pattern of a single sprinkler. a nelson r3000 sprayer with rotator pad and water application angle of 360o which is one of the most common types of center pivot and linear move sprinklers was selected. several field experiments according to the iso-8026 and asae-s398.1 standards were performed to assess the wa...
